2. Drivin'n'cryin'

[Pierre.Suave]

3. Most of the bands I hear on my local Public radio Station

that plays alternative and lesser known bands, as well as local stuff.

[LanternWaste]

4. The Proclaimers...

The Proclaimers. Still playing small venues (some large ones too, though), and relatively unknown in the states, except for one or two singles made popular by Hollywood.

[MrCoffee]

5. Chuck Prophet should be a household name.

It saddens me that he is not.

6. Artists like Bonnie McKee, Susan Cagle, and Leslie Mills

Very accomplished artists who should appeal to many based on their sound. I lean towards pop/rock and singer songwriter for my taste in music.

[ElboRuum]

7. Nothing baffling about it.

Bands which deserve critical or commercial success typically act like they don't want it... so they don't get it.

[Forkboy]

8. Exactly.

There's no way the bands I seem to get into would even play the kind of music they do and expect to be popular.

9. Buzzy Linhart

He was/is completely insane

Buzzy, me and Mr Gray

10. The Decemberists

Both "The Crane Wife" and "Picaresque" are fantastic albums. They should be getting a lot more publicity than they do.

11. Albert Lee - Derek Trucks - Government Mule

[MAGICBULLET]

12. Brothers of Soul

and Ruby Andrews
